Student awards will be distributed at the beginning of the Colloquium.

The Bohr-Einstein debate about the foundations of quantum mechanics is something physicists tend to think of as the sort of thing you might discuss over a beer after you’ve spent the day doing real physics. Following John Bell’s seminal 1964 paper on nonlocality, there’s a new game in town influenced by developments in quantum information. I’ll discuss the significance of this new wave in quantum foundations for the dispute that separated Bohr and Einstein. (Bring your own beer.)
